A mode decision component is configured to determine the costs of different modes for a selected partition of a frame of a video using an estimated compression coding data, which is calculated prior to a corresponding actual compression coding data being calculated based on another partition immediately prior to the selected partition in a partition processing order. The estimated compression coding data is determined based on a previously calculated compression coding data calculated based on a completed partition prior to the selected partition in the partition processing order. The mode decision component is configured to use the determined costs to select one of the modes. An encoder component is configured to use the selected mode to encode the selected partition by using the corresponding actual compression coding data calculated based on the another partition immediately prior to the selected partition in the partition processing order.

Systems and methods are described for video coding using affine motion models with adaptive precision. In an example, a block of video is encoded in a bitstream using an affine motion model, where the affine motion model is characterized by at least two motion vectors. A precision is selected for each of the motion vectors, and the selected precisions are signaled in the bitstream. In some embodiments, the precisions are signaled by including in the bitstream information that identifies one of a plurality of elements in a selected predetermined precision set. The identified element indicates the precision of each of the motion vectors that characterize the affine motion model. In some embodiments, the precision set to be used is signaled expressly in the bitstream; in other embodiments, the precision set may be inferred, e.g., from the block size, block shape or temporal layer.
